ALEX Salmond’s Alba Party will not be able to use its distinctive emblem or slogans such as “Get Independence Done” or “The Supermajority – a Mandate for Independence” on the Holyrood election ballot papers, it can be revealed. The elections watchdog the Electoral Commission has said the new party – like all parties – can only use material on the slips that was submitted before the registration deadline of January 31. But Alba’s Saltire emblem and a series of proposed descriptions were only submitted for consideration to the commission after the deadline. Alex Salmond announced a dramatic comeback to frontline politics last Friday revealing that he would lead the Alba Party and stand as a Holyrood candidate on the North East regional list on May 6.
